Interior Design Proposal: mistakes to avoid
- Decision-makers read the summary and skim the rest. Front-load everything that matters.
- One line of real proof beats a page of promise — name a comparable client and the outcome.
- Never send a single number. It invites "can you do it cheaper?" instead of "what can we remove?"
- Follow up once, three working days later, and add something rather than asking for a decision.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a Interior Design Proposal and a quotation?
A quotation prices work that is already defined. A proposal argues for the work first and prices it second. Send a quotation when the client knows what they want; send a proposal when you still have to win the approach and the budget.
How long should it be?
Long enough to answer the buyer's questions and no longer. Most win at five to ten pages: summary, problem, approach, deliverables, timeline, pricing options, and proof you have done it before.
Should I show one price or several?
Three options usually beats one. A single number moves the conversation to discount; tiered options move it to scope. Put your target option in the middle.
Can I export it to PDF and Word?
Yes, both, free and without an account. Send the PDF so your layout and pricing table hold their position on the client's screen.
